King Prig, acting a little defensive

L. Brent Bozell, III, the head prude behind the Parents Television Council, felt the need to defend himself against a paper by CATO analyst Adam Theirer. Too bad that Mr. Bozell can't even defend himself without lying and mis-characterizing what was said about him. My favorite paragraph in an essay filled with defensive whining-

"Mr. Thierer believes that parental responsibility should be limited to keeping children away from those polluted airwaves. Does he also believe people should be allowed to put obscenities on their license plates and if parents don't approve they should just keep their children off the roads? If a drug dealer is peddling his wares in a school parking lot, is keeping the child out of school the only solution? Such is the incoherence of the libertarian thought process."

Well Mr. Bozo, while we can't put obscenities on license plates, we can have a license plate holder that says "THE PTC ARE COCKSMOKING BITCHES" and have a bumper sticker that says "FUCK OFF KING PRIG". But I'm sure in your ideal world, people would not be able to wear what they want, as well as not watch what they want. And the drug analogy is absolutely asinine; there is no Constitutional right to peddle dope, but there is one that guarantees freedom of expression.
